Endieciochamiento!!

I remember that when I was a child we celebrate Fiestas Patrias with all kin in my home. It was a big party, almost as new year, because my mother was worrying about every detail, since food until clothing and the interesting thing for me was just the latest.. What I would wear that day? A beautiful dress, socks with “blondas” and obviously patent leather shoes.. the bad was that I never could choose the dress but that “18” on 1996 I did it, and remember that I gave round and round, cause I loved to see my dress so, since i imagined that was a flower.. jajaja!!

Also that time, I raised a small kite, better known as: “ñecla" and danced “trastrasera” because was the dance that I had been taught at school. My sister taught me to make ornaments, and we competed for doing the longest garland.

Well, about the changes that I have of my view of “Fiestas Patrias” I can tell that when I was child I didn’t know what was it, my parents told me: “It’s birthday of the country, so we have to celebrate!!” Years later I learned meant it, although I had trouble understanding why 18/11/1810 and not 12/02/1818 but now I understood that as the world ends on 2012 we had to hurry.. :P!!

I should accept that this year has been the most I have reflected our independence, because I believe we have regressed in part, globalization, transnationals, permissive public policies as well as legal voids have allowed so.

I looked the picture of my dress and could not find it.. =(!

Villa Cariñ♥ !!!!!!

Hey!
How is everybody!!?
Today i’m going to talk about a concert that i went.. I believe that it was about three or four weeks ago?? Well, the issu is that i went to Victor Jara galpon to listen to Villa Cariño, they had promised sing ALL their hits!!

In this year i have been in a lot of concert, where Villa Cariño has played.. They play cumbia romanza-personal, (before.. they played Andean music) their style is very funny and original for me, and I must confess that I’m madly in love with vocalist!!!

The last time that i saw them, it was the same week that we back to Santiago, then of my hollidays in Viña with my friends (where certainly it was so entertaining!). I remember that i had troubles with my father for go out that occasion.. but later, we could go out to our longed show.. (i say “we” because Estefa would stay in my home this night.. in fact, she convinced me to go out).

We arrived to Galpon at 11pm but, the concert was to begin at 1:00 am.. so, we went to eat potato chips to spend time. Near midnight, we met some Estefa's friends, who were very nice. We talk about everything, and then we back to galpon at about at 1 am.

I really enjoyed it!! Because the group that played before Villa Cariño was so good too.. it called Banda Jibarito.. they had cuban music influences and “pachanga”. For this reason I think that was a whole concert!!

I give you the link of the group so you can listen to some songs from new album..

SURFFF!!

Hi classmates!
How time has passed?!! I think that everybody have forgotten our Blog-password.. jajaja!! but here we go again, write about some theme :)!

Well, there are many things that i would like to do, (such as: travel around the world, jump of a plane, diving, etc.) but the most things demand a big sum money, this is the problem..

Even so, there is one thing that I would like: SURF!! ..because when i always see photos or videos where one surfer glides on a amazing wave, i think that this should be so exciting!! i know.. they are just some seconds, but those seconds (thanks to the relativity theory) in fact are hours..

I believe that the surf should be very difficult, since you need to have a good equilibrium, you must know how to swim, (front to a possible fall) also should dominate techniques to keep you on the table and a lot of courageee!!

In the mallsport there is "The Big Wave".. In this place simulated a wave that has different intensities, as beginners as expert. The class aren't so expensive.. but i would learnt in the sea, because the waves are always differents.. they aren't regulated for a button =P!

I don't know why strange reason but, i believe that i could be a good surfer.. i love the sea so much, and that is very important! Everything else is practice :) (and money for the class and equipment :S!!)
So, i will hope a surf class as gift for my birthday jajajaj!!

Would you like to surf??!
See you!

World.Cup!

.


I watched the game at Estefa’s home. She had class at the university till so late.. and i didn’t have, so i went to my home for collect some clothes and then.. about at 6:30 pm we got together to buy some snacks.

Also we cook things like pizza and Lemon's pie (it was delicious!! obvious.. i make it). Estefa had a projector, so we could see the game as a cinema. We were four official fans of the red: Estefa, Adrián (her brother), Fran and me .. all shouting for the bad performance of the referee.

It was really very exciting, everybody was expectant of what was happening, I enjoyed it very much.

The best player (in my opinion) was Alexis Sanchez, I dont know much about football, but i see that he has an incredible technique to dominate the ball. On the other hand, i believe that the worst player of the match was Mark Gonzalez, because he had many chances to score a goal and he lost them. (I'm aware that he entered the field in the last minutes of the second time, but still think he could have played better).
Overall Chile reached the opposite bow repeatedly, but that wasn't reflected on the scoreboard, as mostly of the team was very anxious.

I don't think that Chile can win the world cup, but we can pass the second round. I believe it's possible to beat Switzerland and Spain ( Whether they are on the court playing Sanchez and Suazo) but when we move to second round we encounter with Brazil (it hard to beat a rival as this).

Free theme!

Every time that someone told me: "talk about a free theme" I choose the music, and clearly this isn't exception:

MUSIC RECOMMENDATION:

The last Wednesday I went to see a band that I love! It called Villa Cariño, they play melodramatic revolutionary cumbia (so they are defined).
I leave you a song! xD




On the other hand, I’ve heard a very good group, they are Brazilian, called Céu. Their music is a mixture of bossanova, hip hop and other influences.



Finally I admit it! I'm in love with Cat Stevens, a great musician and composer. I think that my ideal man is he, but with regard to age, there is a small problem.. he has a few decades more than me.

Geölogy!

Well, the truth is that throughout the career I have liked many subjects, mostly physical as Climatology, Sea Geography, Geomorphology among others.. but the subject that more has attracted my attention was: Geology. I've been in three courses of this, and my teachers have been:

* Dharmo Rojas (Geology)
* José Araya Vergara (Quaternary Geology)
* Ricardo Thiele (General Geology)

I am currently studying: Field Geology I, given by physical and mathematics sciences faculty at our university. The Geology is very interesting for me, because this science provides answers to the behavior of our planet, explaining how it generated the landscape's macroforms.

This semester I learned a lot, because I put theories into practice.. a few weeks ago we went to field trip the entire course to the third region, specifically the Transito's valley. It was there where I learned many things, such as: types of folds and faults, recognition of rocks and fossils among other things.



[it was my area of study: "el cerro torta" ..we climbed it for all sides! ..uufff!]

With this experience, I know more about the work of the geologist, and I loved it! is almost a way of life (as I mentioned before) and that motivates me!



[this is a "synclinal fold"]

I think geology is fundamental to the specialty that I want to continue, which is natural disasters, because now I know "how", "where" and maybe even "when" it can generate one of these unfortunate events. Having this knowledge, I can speak the same language of geologists and thus be able to generate better regional planning..




[They're my classmates! :)]

Saint Piter!! and around..

I think in these last four years my holidays have been very good, I really don't complain, since that I have met many beautiful places and nice people too. Therefore it's difficult to me choose just one, but well.. I selected from my memory the unforgettable and magical summer of the big north.

It was about two years ago when my sister, her boyfriend, a friend and I went to the San Pedro de Atacama, located in Antofagasta's second region.

That summer I had not worked on anything, so my budget was $25.000. Then I started making rings with my sister and the amount rose to 40,000. As it was not much, I decided to borrow from the Dadbank (never fails)jajaja!! =P

It was then that, with only $100,000 i survived two weeks and i took tours in San Pedro to the geysers, lagoons altiplanicas, the Salar de Atacama (the third largest in the world, I think) the valley of the moon and elsewhere more near.



I enjoyed it too much, was a truly rewarding experience.. In summary I witnessed the amazing landscapes our country has and I realized that we're privileged.



If you do not know these places, I recommend them!
